Gloucester, United Kingdom Rethink Mental Illness Full time

We are looking for a caring and passionate Mental Health Support Worker to work as part of our Gloucestershire Mental Health Helpline.

Imagine being part of an organisation whose common purpose is to help those who are severely impacted by mental illness. We believe that everyone should be treated with respect and dignity - and that’s why equity is one of our core values. We draw on the expertise, unique perspectives and lived experience of our people - regardless of who they are or their background - to help us become inclusive and anti-racist employer, campaigning organisation and service provider that reflect the diverse communities we support as a mental health charity.

The Helpline will provide early intervention mental health support to adults living in Gloucestershire who are experiencing mild-moderate mental health issues, including self-harm, to increase emotional resilience, promote safety, improve mental health and wellbeing, promote recovery, and prevent problems escalating.

The service is for anyone who would like support for any existing mental health difficulties and for those who may benefit from a brief, early intervention to promote their wellbeing and prevent problems escalating. The service is also available to friends, family and professionals who are worried about the mental wellbeing of another individual and are seeking advice on how to support them.

This is a permanent role working 22.5 hours per week.

- I act in accordance with Rethink Mental Illness’s Health and Safety and to notify the manager promptly if there are any concerns
- I participate in regular supervision and appraisal and undertake any relevant training as appropriate to the role
- I work with basic computer packages

**What we are looking for**

We are looking for an individual who:

- Experience of providing support to people with a mental illness or within another social care setting
- Experience of providing an advice, support or an information service, ideally over the telephone
- Experience of dealing with emotionally demanding situations and demonstrating emotional resilience
- Educated to NVQ3 level or above in a relevant discipline or with equivalent work experience
- Level 2 Awards in Introduction to Counselling Skills and/or Level 3 Certificate in Counselling Skills (e.g. CPCAB accredited courses) would be desirable.

**_ Don’t meet all requirements?_**

**If the role sounds exciting to you but your experience, skills or qualifications don’t exactly match every single requirement, we would still encourage you to apply, you may be just the right person for our position**

**Caring for our people.**

- PULSE - our recognition, rewards, wellbeing, and benefits platform. Providing access to thousands of discounts and benefits including cashback; reloadable cards; savings etc. As well as being able to thank colleagues and nominate them for awards.
